What is this? {Quest}

The pair wandered down the street in the stone city, both looking greatly out of place compared to the natives of this world. Kiskyna had a sense of wonder as she took in the sights of the decorations which lined the streets and shops they passed, something she remembered from her own home in Divinity's Reach. Unlike her home though, children ran through the streets laughing and teasing in the evening hours. All of them dressed strangely as things Kiskyna didn't recognize, though she'd seen much in this world, with small bags clutched in their hands. Vyolf for the most part simply looked annoyed, though he was out here to humor his mate. "I wonder, what do you think this 'Halloween' festival is?" She was curious to his take on the matter, especially as it seemed this was their new home. To her question he simply snorted, shaking his large head and shrugging his massive fur covered shoulders, causing his armor and sword to clang with the motion.


Bottles smashed, I raised my hand
How can you all even stand?
And why is there joy in this poison? Oh
Faking smiles and confidence
Driving miles to capture this excitement
I can't take anymore

You're never gonna get it
I'm a hazard to myself
I'll break it to you easy
This is hell, this is hell
You're looking and whispering
You think I'm someone else
This is hell, yes
I am in hell

She was so use to her husband's lack of spoken words, that it didn't bother Kiskyna in the least when he made no real response to her. Instead she continued walking along the street and into the open market area, something that was as familiar to her as home. "I mean in a way it reminds of the Mad King festival we had back home, doesn't it you?" This brought Vyolf up short as he strolled at her side, one raised brow asked if she was serious or not. He could still remember the last time, when they'd been pulled into the Mad King's Labyrinth a year prior. Kisk however stopped at one of the vendor carts along side of the street, and purchased for herself a hot "pumpkin" spiced latte and a single black coffee for Vyolf. "It wasn't all that bad, Vyolf." While he accepted the coffee he snorted at the comment. She simply laughed, remembering some of the insanity that had descended with the Mad King.

Once both had a hot drink in hand, Kiskyna started back down the street. "Well, the almost dying part was..." She shrugged her delicate shoulders at the memory, then laughed softly. At least both had learned their lessons on opening and going through strange doors which appeared in odd places, especially during the fall seasons. She highly doubted such doors would appear in this world, because it didn't seem the Mad King had a hold on this world. That was one thing Kisk was thankful for every single time she saw a carved pumpkin, it wasn't going to start telling jokes or riddles.

Beside her the hulking beast that was Vyolf Farpain kept his silence while his mate lead the way, contemplating her words more than anything. The giant skeletons wielding a chainsaw, or a scythe, or massive walking hunks of candycorn shooting projectiles was something he could never forget. The plastic spiders were also highly disturbing in their own right, though he'd never mentioned that to Kisk. "Why are we down here?" He rumbled with a low growl, startling several passers by with the menacing tone it held. However Kisk had never found his tone frightening, after all she knew large gatherings of humans bothered him.

A gentle smile came to Kisk's lips at the question, and she glanced over to her husband. While his gruff attitude often was off putting to most, as was his race's appearance, Kisk knew him well enough to not be bothered. Most people who saw the pair were not only frightened of the massive Charr warrior, but slightly alarmed by the weapons and armor he wore. While on the other hand as they strolled along, Kisk was a different story in looks. She was a petite woman, dressed in stylish but differently different from anything in this world. "You'll see, love." Taking a sip from her cup, Kisk smiled slightly. She had a plan for what they were doing out here, and she doubted Vyolf would be happy at first. Still she knew he wouldn't deny her, which was why she'd dragged him out here.

While Vyolf wasn't a fan of exposing himself often in this new world, he couldn't outright deny Kiskyna her outings. However this day they were wandering through the city, which looked so unusual to his eye. The streets were decorated with false spider web wrapped around the gas lamps that lined the main street, shops were decked out with black, oranges, greens, and purples. Many of the locals looked vastly different on this cool autumn afternoon, all of them wore bright smiles as he and Kiskyna passed by. The vendors were selling seasonal foods, drinks, and wares; things that were strange to him. As they made their way into the upper shopping market, Vyolf found himself confronted by a great many grinning pumpkins. Those that did not smile at him in one form or another, they were hollowed out with other designs shining out.

Most of the others had their own costumes, having bought them in the weeks prior. Kiskyna was the last to join the fun, and she wasn't about to have anything but a fancy costume for it. If it hadn't been for a brief explanation by two of Azael's newest recruits, both of which originated from this world; none of them would have realized how much fun this holiday could be. They had even been kind enough to give her the name of one of the best designers in the whole town, which is where Kisk was headed as they made their way down the street. Her eyes roamed the different decorations, enjoying the playfulness of the way this world saw it. It didn't take them long to end up at the beautiful stone three story building that reminded her of a house, with its elegant stone steps that lead to the ornate wooden door. "This is it." She beamed turning back to face her husband who looked the building over with a suspicious eye.

His eyes landed on the ornate, lacy dressed which stood in the massive first floor windows. "Shopping...?" He couldn't believe she'd brought him along shopping, but then again with the knowledge that even this world wasn't all that safe, it made a sort of sense. "If you wanted to go shopping...why not bring Leonia?" While he still wasn't fond of the mesmer woman, Vyolf couldn't think his mate needed him and his sword to get a dress. Still he only shrugged his massive shoulders and motioned her to lead the way, it didn't bother him as much as he let on. Which she did with a wide smile, bounding up the steps with a delight Vyolf hadn't seen from her in a long while. He couldn't deny that it was night to see her smile again, not worry about the fates of those left behind in Orr and Tyria.

Kiskyna pushed open the surprisingly heavy door, and entered the first floor of the shop. Inside the building smelled warmly of cinnamon, and other warm scents; causing Vyolf to issue a powerful sneeze. This caused her to giggle softly behind her hand, as the mighty Charr sniffed. It was then that a small body passed through the purple silk curtain, with a surprised expression on her delicate face.

It took a moment for Yarine was slightly shocked, and a bit fearful, of the massive bipedal cat standing in the entry room. After a couple of blinks, her eyes landed on the lovely woman standing beside the cat. "Oh...my." She wasn't sure what to make of the pair, but after a moment she gathered her wits. "Do you, uh, have an appointment?" Cautiously she made her way to the desk which sat at the center of the room, with the many premade dresses standing around. When the woman simply nodded a confirmation, Yarine began searching through the appointment ledger that sat at the center. Sure enough the name Kiskyna was circled in lavender for the evening appointments, meaning it belonged to Lineva. "Ah, here you are." She offered the human woman a smile. "Lineva is done with your outfit, and since I see you already paid..." Her eyes scanned the notes, dancing over Lineva's delicate writing. "All that's left is the fitting. If you'll follow me, please." She eyed the cat's large sword strapped to its hip, "And please be careful of the merchandise." She motioned them through the curtain, in the fitting area that took up a large amount of the first floor.

Vyolf apparently opted to stay in the front room, as he made no move to follow Kisk back. She wasn't surprised in the least by this, as he was likely uncomfortable as it was. What did surprise her, was how fast the petite woman hustled her into a fitting room, and shut the door. Blinking for a moment in stunned silence, Kisk gave the fairly roomy dressing area a once over. It was here she found it, the outfit she'd ordered. It was stunning, that was all her mind could think as she let her hands trail over the silk material. The outfit was an artfully done dress, made of soft silks and shimmering little gems with a pair of butterfly wings. Without thinking twice, Kiskyna slipped into the mid-thigh length dress, the started trying to work her way into the corset. "I think I may need a little hand." She called out passed the door, unable to retie the garment herself.

There was no verbal response, but the door opened. Kisk turned with a relieved smile, expecting to see the same petite woman that had lead her back there. Instead she came face to face with another woman, a tall blonde with delicate features and high cheekbones. "Here, let's see..." She began working the tie through the eyes, before tying it off tightly. "Not too tight is it?" Kiskyna shook her head negative, getting a smile from the woman. "Now let's see about getting it finished up, shall we?" A fragile looking hand extended to Kisk, which she shook. "I'm Lineva." She slipped back out the doorway.

Once out in the main area, Kisk was surprised by all the extras Lineva had lined up. There was a beautiful tiara sitting on the small table, with pins and several colors of thread. Lineva didn't say anything, instead she stepped over and began plucking up her thread and pins. It was the only sign Kisk got, as she stepped up onto the small raised platform. "This is my first time, buying a..." She'd forgotten what it was called again, as she looked down at the dress she wore. "A costume...I believe that's what its called." Feeling as though she sounded stupid, Kisk lowered her head some, while Lineva began taking in the waist of her dress. The other woman was quick with her fingers, but she worked wordlessly. It was a bit unnerving as the woman sewed and tucked. Little jewels were added, as were some shimmering fabrics. All the while Kisk watched in the mirror as she was turned into a thing they called a "fairy", and she liked what she saw.
